This article analyzes state policies aimed at regulating junk food consumption in schools, focusing on soda. It reviews data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey across 50 states and the District of Columbia to assess the effects of policy changes on different racial and ethnic groups. The intended benefits include promoting student health and reducing obesity risk. However, potential unintended consequences such as decreased vending revenues and unchanged consumption habits are also noted. The implications for educational levels from elementary to university are discussed.
